It’s a simple reality that sometimes the ongoing trend of nudity in fashion is about selling sex. But it’s not always the case. Often it’s about beauty: the beauty of a healthy body, of a glowing golden tan, of the qualities that stir up desire or envy or simply appreciation. Barbara Fialho in Elle Brazil is one of those beauties.

In this shoot featuring Drew Barrymore they’ve pulled together outfits that work every aspect of a star’s life from the red carpet to rehearsals. Yes they’ve even pulled out the cliche Director’s Chair pose. But cliches aside it’s a theme that works, and the outfits are all high-impact with vibrant fall 2011 colours.

Given the racy nature of its barely dressed video and print campaign with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, you'd expect the new Burberry Body fragrance to inspire a line of, well, cold showers.

Instead, it's the first scent to spawn its own ready-to-wear clothing collection, aptly called Burberry Nude. Available for purchase now, the offerings include several reworkings of the classic camel trench coat — from a feminine jacquard number with a bow-tied waist to versions in fur, buttery-soft leather, and glossy satin.

Makeovers and must-haves, fashion and festivities, carnival and costumes, bloggers and buyers, celebrities and celebrations - Vogue's Fashion Night Out had London alive with activity tonight, a balmy evening that made it feel like summer's final fling before the fashion industry knuckles down to a month of international spring/summer 2012 collections - and everyone else looks forward to autumn, preferably with at least one or two wardrobe additions acquired tonight to make it that little bit more tantalising.

Constructed from the softest leather and glossy sheepskin, Karl Donoghue's Toscana biker jacket is a timeless addition to any outerwear collection. This luxe piece has an asymmetric zip front, sheared lambskin lining and oversized lapels (£1,545.00).

Karl Donoghue Toscana Wrap

Envelop yourself in Karl Donoghue's luxurious waxed leather Toscana wrap. Constructed from the softest lambskin with a glossy shearling lining and lapels, this timeless piece has no front closure and simply drapes down at the front (£870).

Adele is the cover star of the October issue of Vogue. A celebration of all that has come to define the modern English woman, the magazine profiles some of the country's most successful and completely unique female names - from Adele and author Diana Athill to Amy Childs.

"Our cover girl, Adele, has won over the world with her heartbreaking voice and her ability to seem as if she very much herself," says Alexandra Shulman in her editor's letter. "One of the interesting facts of celebrity is that we, the admirers, usually find some particular aspect of our favourite stars to focus on and that generally become 'the point of them'. We like them to be a certain way, and often take a long time to accept any change. So Adele's very normality, her down-to-earth determination not to compromise herself, has become as much a part of her USP as, for example, Madonna's constant, deliberate reinvention."

Thigh high splits, over the knee boots, selectively placed furs and blazers. Each are about perspective. Particular angles can detract from the effect, others can heighten it in any number of ways. Despite this, the majority of photo shoots tend to concentrate on each statement element from the same perspective – thigh high splits, for instance, are nearly always photographed with their wearer in motion, revealing a flash of thigh.

The Michael Kors photo shoot in the September issue of Interview magazine changes all that. It changes the perspective, sexually charging each statement. And deservedly so: each of these fashion elements is crafted around the sensuality of the body.

The fashion addict

Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Lady Nini is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season pieces is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself.
Beauty is the most important thing to her, as well as feeling sexy, feminine and confortable. Sparkles and diamonds are a passion and make part of her lifestyle. More than being fashionable, it’s a way of thinking and seeing the world with the joy, fun and enthusiasm that she brings into her everyday life. And this is a theory that she works into her writing. Fashion is a fantasy to be lived!
